Get Into the Halloween Spirit with a Jack-O-Lantern Screen Saver

Get Into the Halloween Spirit with a Jack-O-Lantern Screen Saver
It's that time of year again, and we're not talking about the silly-season of politics. No, it's almost time for Halloween, and that means it's time for ghosts, goblins, and Jack-O-Lanterns.

The problem? Jack-O-Lanterns are messy, and easy to screw up. Carving a pumpkin requires patience and a steady hand, and scooping out that gunk inside is unpleasant, to say the least. Killer Robots, a developer of Mac software, created a Jack-O-Lantern screen saver to get you in the All Hallows Eve mood.

The Jack-O-Lantern screen saver features a realistic 3D pumpkin rotating on a black background. There are a collection of pre-made cut outs such as a wolf and an Apple logo, but it also comes with a 'Photoshop' template for creating your own virtual carvings.

On the downside, a virtual Jack-O-Lantern can't provide you with delicious freshly roasted pumpkin seeds. [From: TUAW]
